Would you switch to a big 5.5" phablet like the OnePlus One, if it offers you flagship specs at half price?

The OnePlus One announcement must have put the big names in the mobile industry in a jiffy to respond, as it's essentially a $300 phone that carries the specs of a $600 handset from a major manufacturer, and then some. It's still a huge 5.5" phone, though, which won't be to the taste of everybody, so we are curious to know if you would consider such a large gear, if it has the value-for-money ratio of the OnePlus One...

Funny how IR became a must for a phone :) actually, i was thinking about this One+ device but this comment made me to stick with a device with IR as it became my daily habit to use phone as a remote...

S5 size is the most I can handle. Not being able to comfortably carry a phone in my pocket is a deal breaker for me, and the S5 is on the edge of being too big. Women have handbags so they can put a phablet in there, but as a man I usually only have my pockets to put it in, so unless you're wearing very large pants, I don't see how you can manage to carry around a 5.5" or 5.7" screen device...

I wear men's skinny jeans and reg. slim fit pants. My Note 3 fits perfectly fine in my pockets with no annoying awkward sitting or walking. I also have a Spigen hybrid case on my Note 3 that gives it an additional protection, thats the beauty of R&D from Samsung, they are able to package a 5.7 inch phone to be pocketable.

I have somewhat large hands and I dont find the Note 3 to feel awkward or a pain to hold. I like the size and the screen is still gorgeous. I agree that some cases when taking photos it can be difficult to take pictures.

It takes some getting use too, I had the Gnexus which was 4.6 in. screen and now I have a Gnote3 so the transition was intimidating but you'll get use to it.

I see nothing wrong with wearing men's skinny jeans. I am not going to wear normal size pants that look baggy on me, this is not the early 2000s look anymore. Plenty of young men are wearing them who are slim built.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to walk around wearing super baggy gangsta style pants, but that doesn't mean you should walk around wearing skinny jeans either coz i don't wanna see your butt around

Pussy is not derogatory... if derogatory then what all girls will do? its natural, they have it... only using these words are little taboo although time has changed now and its good that this taboo is declining

I consider it derogatory. It gets used loosely way too often, but when you use it to insult someone or prove a point. I don't think its applicable, why use a slang term such as "Pussy" when you can use the proper term a 'vagina'

But it's the younger generations that use it and don't understand who they can offend. I was not offended by Nikolas comment. But rather curious as to why skinny jeans had to be used by only women.

none of the answers above. buying oneplus IS "settling" for something cheaper and less premium. i don't look for good deal when buying flagships. i only look for the highest premium device that has features i will want to use.

What makes it is less premium may I ask? On paper the One Plus One is equal to or ahead of the competition depending on what feature you look at. Nobody's gotten a hands-on yet so we don't know the actual quality of the device but purely based on photos it looks high quality. Software features would be the only thing that makes it lower quality than the rest of the competition.

Or you may be a moron who thinks it isn't premium purely because it costs less.

Keep in mind I said on paper. One Plus is a brand new company so we have no idea how much of that will translate into actual quality, I have high hopes. The HTC One M8 has a lower res camera, the Galaxy S5 has worse build quality and both have less RAM (Although that would be very negligible). The One Plus One also has a larger battery although it may not be as heavily optimized as the M8 or S5- we'll see. The xperia Z2 is on pretty much equal ground aside from screen size but that is largely subjective. I suppose you could could pit it against the LG G Pro 2 because it was also released this year, and that has a less powerful SoC.

Actually in saudi Arabia the moto g has a reasonable price 900 sar also lg priced the g2 at 2100 and now it's priced at 1900 sar that's alot of money but look at samsung and sony and htc the s5 was priced at 2700 sar the z1 was 2800 the htc one m7and m8 were priced at 2800 the g2 is reasonble to them but to be fair for samsung they always cut the price tag so fast but htc and sony are arrogants the z was priced at 1850 when the z1 was lunched but when s4 was lunched at 2700 the s3 was 1400 and the worst is htc when s4 was cut to 1900 the m7 was still 2800 if you want to sell phone when you're a no name company in specific country please cut the godamn price make it reasonable some people don't even get 2000 in month but what can you say and don't make me talk about apple

I think you mean a 2K HD screen. Also, something worth considering is that while it may indeed crush the OnePlus in terms of specs, it won't be releasing until later on this year. So you're going to be waiting about 6 months or so until that device becomes available.
